"Chased off" and "expelled" is Newsweek's and China's characterization of it. Allowing the enemies of America to frame the context of any situation or encounter is weak-minded and effeminate.

I'm not an expert on Naval strategy, but I suspect the movement and response of the US warship was a "testing of the waters' probing both the response and the capabilities of the Chinese. I think it accomplished the mission it went in there to do.
